Registry Mechanic Review

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

One very important thing I have come to learn through years of computer experience is that every single computer should have a good registry cleaning program installed and in use. When it comes to finding a registry cleaning program there are a ton of choices! But weeding through all of these to find the valuable cleaners isn’t as easy as you might think. There are a few great registry error removing programs out there, and the rest are just cheap imitations! One of my most loved registry cleaning programs is Registry Mechanic.

Registry Mechanic is a program of the famous PC Tools company. I have just upgraded to their latest version, Registry Mechanic 8. I am using a Windows Vista Home Premium, 32-bit version computer and their upgrade of Registry Mechanic works PERFECT on my system. Not a flaw to be found.

The installation of Registry Mechanic 8 is really easy for any computer user to follow. You select Run, and then you pick what you what to install with the Registry Mechanic, whether you want the Quick Launch button, Desktop icon and more. After that you will see how quick and thorough installation is.

That’s only the beginning of how well this program was designed for the public. As soon as Registry Mechanic 8 is finished downloading, it will run an automatic update to make sure that you got all the latest increments of the program. Then you’re on to the good stuff. You can now run a full scan and repair of your computer’s registry with the click of a button.

Registry Mechanic runs a intensive scan through your computer’s registry locating and alerting you of anything suspicious. Each error and missing or invalid reference will be listed by name and with details for you to review manually if you wish to do so. I trust the Registry Mechanic and its never done harm to my computer in any way so I click the Repair button and watch as Registry Mechanic works wonders for my computer!

Registry Mechanic has won many awards that it definitely deserved! Just visit their website to see their awards and honorable mentions to see what I’m talking about! Registry Mechanic knows you’ll love the program so they offer a 100% money back guarantee to back that! You might be surprised to learn that if you take your computer into the repair shop that they run a registry scan & repair program to locate the errors in your computer. Some even use this very program! So, skip the middle man and repair your computer’s registry yourself with Registry Mechanic.

Below is from their website in reference to the latest version of Registry Mechanic.

Finally Fast Review

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

We have been asked by many users to do a review of the Finally Fast software over at FinallyFast.com which is brought to you by the folks over at Ascentive.

We highly suggest you try PC Registry Cleaner instead of Finally Fast.  Download PC Registry Cleaner.

There are many bad reviews of finally fast online but we also found some positives in it.  The software is easy to install and has a very clean looking  interface. However many people report finally fast software as sending them a barrage of popups etc.

We did not notice any popups that resulted from installing the software from finallyfast.com at the time we tested it other than normal nag screens commonly found in trial versions of software.

It did install 4 icons on our desktop promoting their other products.  Some novice users may not know how to remove these but they were not overly intrusive just a little out of the ordinary.

When you goto the FinallyFast.com website you actually download a program called PC SpeedScan Pro.  The other icons on your desktop will be for their other products to try and buy.

Requirements:

Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, or XP

This is according to their website faq as of 2/9/2009.  It does seem strange that they don’t mention it working with Windows Vista as Vista has been out so for almost 2 years now. We tested the software with Windows XP.

It ran ok without any errors on our XP test system.  The screenshot below shows you that its the August 2008 version but we downloaded and tested this on February 09 of 2009.

The GUI straightforward and easy to use but took a very long time to scan our test pc and it said it found 32 issues.  It’s not the fanciest interface around but it works.

Many people complain that they couldn’t uninstall the software but we were able to uninstall finally fast quite easily through the Add/Remove programs option in the control panel.  The software does not offer a quick uninstall from the programs menu.

They do have a very nice looking website and fancy commercial at finallyfast.com but the software does not seem to be as high quality as their marketing is.  I would think they could make the GUI much better looking as well but again this is just my personal opinion.
